Technically, it doesn't make it illegal. They won't jail people just because they said something about Jews that isn't praising them. As I understand it they threaten to withdraw federal funding from programs, if something "antisemitic" is expressed. So effectively this is a shut-down of opinions Jews don't like. I take it there will be disciplinary action, if someone being part of such a program says something critical about Jews, 'the Holocaust" or 'Israel'.

So essentially they leave it to the academic administration to do the persecution of "Antisemites", they just use a carrot ,they threaten to withhold, to do so.

Madness. And American "conservatives" will defend this. The boomer cattle carry on their path to extinction and continue being used for the suckers they are.

Not this American Conservative.

I also don't think this applies to private Colleges and Universities, but they probably have their own 1st Amendment rules in place too.

Not certain how this new Executive Order would hold up at the Supreme Court level. Those Executive Orders can also be reversed and rendered null and void by another President. But then, that President would be labeled as an anti-Semite. In this country, that is something that will follow you around the rest of your life.
